Mr Hodgers, to get the Green a Federal Council seat?
in terms of party strength, we have a right to it. That’s why in need of care but the national party line. I am in constant contact with her.
And Antonio Hodgers in the Bundesrat, can you imagine?
I’m not in my Considerations so far. It’s not about me. It’s about what happened in Bern. Questions: Would the Green be a candidate? You find allies? If Yes, do you want someone from the English or the Western part of Switzerland? I think the Greens should prefer to a woman’s candidacy. In the Ecology, but it is also about the role of women.
her government experience would be an advantage.
There is the Green many people with government experience. In my case, it is also a matter of the Canton of Geneva, the is weakened. And it comes to my family. I am not with a woman who follows her husband everywhere. In addition, she brings in a couple of days our child to the world. My children to be a good father, is for me an important value.
As a former group President, you have experienced many Federal government elections. You know that suddenly, everything can go very quickly.
of Course, I see that everything is very open and fast in all the directions it can go. This is the magic of the Swiss policy. You should not be a career politician. Often people are elected, surprisingly, in the Federal Council. I was asked by my party due to the Federal Council candidate. My reaction was: We can discuss it. There are also other candidates. It is important that the Greens can now take on responsibility for government.
Currently you have a different Problem. In a radio show you referred to a “Le Temp”-the journalist as Groupie who is in love with their Council of state, colleagues Pierre Maudet .
I have said this in a satirical show. The journalists were joking. The frame was a little to seriously. Satire shipments are always tricky. Either one is serious and boring, or it is mockingly, what is that for a politician to sometimes be a bit complicated. After the groupie of comparison, all laughed in the show, also the former FDP national councillor Suzette Sandoz. After the show there was no reaction.
“The journalist is missing it Maudet, in my opinion, the required journalistic distance to Pierre.”
The editor-in-chief of “Le Temps”responded on the same day. He accused you of sexism. Are you too far gone?
He has ripped the sentence out of the context, the core of the problem.
the core of The Problem is that the journalist is to be critical, but with Pierre Maudet treated according to his lie, no confession with care. After your Federal Council ambitions you referred to them as surfers, and Pierre Maudet as a marathon runner. She’s frustrated, obviously.
In the same article, the journalist referred to me as “impétueux,” which you could translate to English with “impetuous” or “violent”. She, however, gave no example of what it refers to. I’m not sure impulsive. Then she describes me as a Surfer, so an opportunist. I’m more of a thick skull, the opposing waves. The journalist is missing Maudet, in my opinion, the required journalistic distance to Pierre. She has coped obviously bad that Pierre Maudet missed the election as a Federal councillor and I am now a candidate for this office. A man must be allowed to criticize a woman because of their professional work. This has nothing to do with sexism, too. I would have said the same thing if the journalist had been a man.
you Have to apologize?
I did. I stress: I’m a Feminist. Everything that has happened to the#MeToo movement, is extremely important. In the Department we have an equality group. I do a lot of that women in management positions. I am a member of the UN programme of gender Champions. Again: If the journalist feels as a woman hurt, I apologize to you.
“I am a Feminist. Everything that has happened to the#MeToo movement, is extremely important.”
your party is as successful as never, they are traded as a green Federal Council candidate. Why not treat yourself to a little rest and enjoy the Moment?
As a Council of state, you can not relax. Just in the satirical show have I relaxed me too much. In the Geneva policy, we have to measure this constant forces. The affair came Maudet, the Takeover of the government Bureau and my Department (of the environment and spatial planning) is very exposed, but also exciting.
your Canton is in a coarser crisis. We take the budget debate. Pierre Maudet, the Budget 2020 rejects. With his opt-out he desvaouiert the body.
This is not the Geneva policy. This is Maudet Lord. Apart from this, the Geneva political culture is a reminder of France. We live with it. I like it. All parties except the SVP have decided on the budget proposal to enter. Thus, nothing is yet won, but this is already better than last year.
“I am still shocked, what did Pierre Maudet.”
you and Mr Maudet, against the Prosecutor’s office determined because of the acceptance of benefits, were once political allies. Today, they are enemies.
This is a journalistic perception. The newspaper “Le Temps” has called us again, “unequal brothers”. I thought that was a fine observation. I am still shocked, what did Pierre Maudet. But, as we know us so long, we are working together in our government meeting is always speedy. They all think we don’t talk anymore. That’s not true. My role is to ensure that the state developed.
Mr Maudet said in an Interview: “I know who Antonio Hodgers is.”
I didn’t respond. He thinks that what he has done is serious. I think the opposite.
The government destroyed currently Maudets work of the last years. It prohibits the driving service Uber and wants to let the police act review, the advocate-General has not just dealt brought by popular vote …
The government has with these topics. I learned of this from the media.
This is hard to believe. In the case of Uber, the state informed firm.
but it Is so. For Uber and the police act, the Council of state, Mauro Poggia is currently responsible. The Uber ban was an administrative decision. Uber does not meet the requirements of the taxi act, the Pierre Maudet once adopted. If requirements are not met, I stop as the Director of planning also works.
